In this episode of the business student podcast, we have special guest Laura Ileogben. She’s embarking on a fulfilling creative journey and has secured an internship at FUEL, Ireland’s leading events and content agency. Graduating from a background in multimedia, Laura shares her transformative journey, unveiling the secrets behind standing out both in academia and the competitive creative landscape.

Reflecting on her personal growth, Laura shares three fundamental lessons she wishes she'd known before entering university. She also delves into who has inspired her to pursue a career in the creative space. Laura was drawn into the realm of creativity by her musician sister's artistic endeavors, and found herself impassioned by its possibilities. Laura's mentor, Onai Tafuma, also played a pivotal role in her journey in the creative space as well. Laura mentions a great book that helped show her anything is possible with persistence and resilience called “More Than Enough: Claiming Space for Who You Are (No Matter What They Say)” by Elaine Welteroth.

Laura highlights how being a part of Gorm's Wideshot program helped her excel in the creative space. She recounts her journey through the pilot program and subsequent summer workshops, where she delved into the fundamentals of storytelling and digital media. A highlight from this experience was a transformative week-long summer retreat, where she collaborated on crafting an experiential documentary, attended a Virgin Media tour and connected with influential mentors. This immersive experience not only honed her technical skills but also amplified her interpersonal adeptness, highlighting the significance of mentorship and networking.
